Title: Method and composition for the prevention of high temperature corrosion due to alkali sulfates and alkali chlorides and composition for use in the same
Inventor: SCHOFIELD KEITH
IPC: C01G39/00
Filed: 2001-02-01
Abstract: An additive to a flame reaction that forms noncorrosive deposits on cooler metal surfaces that are more stable than Na2SO4 or K2SO4 is disclosed. The additive preferentially combines with the sodium or potassium, and sulfates of these will not be formed. By adding tungsten, tungsten salts or tungsten percursors to the flame, a complex sodium tungstate is produced on the surface of the cooler metal object in a dense form and corrosion is inhibited. The level of tungsten preferably present at an atomic concentration is equal to 1.5 to 2 times that of the sodium in the specific flame environment and possibly a little higher for potassium. The nature of the fuel and possible alkali reduction schemes will control the quantity and mixing method of the additive. The additive may be directly mixed into the fuel or injected into the burned gas regions of the combustion, Ta and Nb also appear as possible substitutes for W.

Title: Use of an TH1-biasing adjuvant to enhance the immune response to the immunogen in immunotherapy
Inventor: LU YINGJUAN
IPC: A61P37/04
Filed: 2003-04-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a medicament comprising: (a) an immunogen or immunogenic hapten-carrier conjugate, wherein the immunogen or hapten is recognised by an endogenous antibody in the host or is recognised directly by an immune cell in the host, and wherein the hapten is an unnatural hapten; and (b) a TH1-biasing adjuvant. Such compositions are useful for enhancing in endogenous immune response-mediated specific elimination of a population of pathogenic cells in a preimmunized host animal harboring the population, wherein members of the cell population have an accessible binding site for a ligand. The composition is particularly useful for treating disease states characterized by the existence of pathogenic cell populations. In accordance with the described method, cell-targeted ligand-immunogen or ligand-hapten complexes are administered to a diseased host to redirect the host immune response to the pathogenic cells which have an accessible binding site for the ligand. The improvement to the method comprises the step of using a TH1-biasing adjuvant to enhance the immune response to cell-bound ligand-immunogen or ligand-hapten conjugates. Specifically disclosed is a use of (a) an immunogenic hapten-carrier conjugate; and (b) a TH1-biasing adjuvant for preparation of a medicament for enhancing an endogenous immune response-mediated specific elimination of a population of pathogenic cells in a host animal harboring the population, wherein the hapten is an unnatural hapten, and wherein the hapten is recognized by an endogenous antibody in the host or is recognized directly by an immune cell in the host; wherein said medicament is formulated for simultaneous or sequential administration of said conjugate and said TH1-biasing adjuvant. Also disclosed is a use of (a) a TH1-biasing adjuvant; and (b) a ligand-hapten conjugate for preparation of a medicament for enhancing an immune response in a host animal harboring a population of pathogenic cells to eliminate said pathogenic cell population wherein the pathogenic cells have an accessible binding site for the ligand; wherein said medicament is formulated for simultaneous or sequential administration of said conjugate and said TH1-biasing adjuvant.
